Tigers seek first sweep over Tampa Bay Rays at Comerica Park

DETROIT -- Brad Penny seeks his fourth win in five starts as the Tigers try to complete their first three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays at Comerica Park and extend the club's win streak to four.

After allowing five runs, coupled with a season-high five walks in 5 2/3 innings, Penny looks to rebound from last Friday's 10-1 loss to Pittsburgh. Penny (4-4, 4.45 ERA) is 2-4 with a 5.45 ERA in seven games against Tampa Bay.

Detroit’s only sweep of the Rays came Sept. 4-6, 2009, in St. Petersburg, Fla. Andy Sonnanstine (0-1, 4.21 ERA) gets the start for Tampa Bay

Brandon Inge is a healthy scratch for the second straight day, enabling Don Kelly to play his sixth game at third base and hit No. 2 in the lineup for the second consecutive game.

Following a 2-for-3 night, Tigers second baseman Scott Sizemore will bat ninth again and try to extend his three-game hit streak.
